Random Act of Kindness September Sign-Up!

IMPORTANT UPDATE!
Due to the demands of keeping up with RAK, we have established a new email address dedicated to all RAK related inquiries. With the help of The Bookish Brunette, we will be using this address ONLY to address everyone's quespsons and comments concerning RAK. We find that it is too difficult to have questions spread out amongst 3 email addresses & Twitter accounts. To eliminate confusion or anything slipping through the cracks, we've come up with this solution.

Starting immediatly, please send ALL RAK related messages to:

rakbybooksoulamates @ gmail . com

{Please click on the RAK button above to be re-directed to our Book Soulmates Store on Amazon. You can find all your favorite titles there and add them to your shopping cart.}

Wow! September is finally here and bringing with it a new month of RAKs! August was an amazing month full of gift giving and incredible generosity. Isalys and I are both so proud of everyone for participating and passing on some kindness. We all know how tough this economy has become so imagine how much it means to someone to be able receive that one book they've been longing for but couldn't afford. Yeah, you guys rock. You should all totally pat yourselves on the back! You're all inspirations and make us proud to be a part of such an incredible community.

Now with that said, we have received a few emails with people saying they cannot afford to buy a book for others but would be willing to create something, such as a handmade bookmark or something of that nature.
We'll be adding an extra column for people who would not mind accepting handmade goodies.
The winner of the RAK giveaway will be posted tomorrow {or Saturday} so stay tuned for that!

If you are new to RAK, welcome aboard!

RULES RE-CAP:*NEW INFO ADDED*
Sign up each month that you'd like to participate.

Show off your participation by grabbing our RAK button :)

Create a wish list (on Amazon, Goodreads, or your blog etc) and post it in the Google Doc located in each R.A.K post for the month.

If you choose to do a R.A.K for someone, check out their wish list and contact that blogger for their address.

*NEW* Please, once you receive a RAK, send us an our new email to [rakbybooksoulmates @ gmail . com] dedicated to RAK so that the Google Doc can be updated. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SEND EMAILS TO THIS ADDRESS.

*NEW* E-book participation is limited to files being gifted directly to a person from the e-book store. Amazon's Kindle Store is set up to allow this, as well as the Kobo store and we believe Barnes & Noble as well.

At the end of the month, SHOW US YOUR R.A.K! Make a post saying 'Thank You' to whoever granted one of your wishes and share it with us :)

If you have any questions regarding RAK, please contact us via the following: rakbybooksoulamates @ gmail . com

Good luck to all the giveaway participants and thanks for joining and passing on the kindness!

You guys ROCK!!

Tips:

1. When talking about RAK on Twitter, please use the hastag (#RAK). It makes it much easier to keep track of the conversations, answer questions and/or tweet back! =)

2. When submitting your wish list, please make sure that it is set to PUBLIC viewing. Some people have run into trouble with wish lists that were set to private. We want to be sure that no one is left out of getting great RAKs.

3. Some of you seem to have gotten frustrated because you can't get your links to appear active. This is a very easy fix :) Just make sure that when you enter your link, do NOT hit the Enter key. Instead, hit the TAB key which will send you to the next field on the form. Additional spaces entered after the link will leave the link inactive. However, if this does happen to you...no worries, we'll fix it for you :)

Hey you guys! This is an awesome program and its so fun to spread the love! I also just wanted to mention that I accidentally added myself twice in this month's sign up sheet because I didn't think my first entry went through, but it did, so just to let you guys know! Happy reading!

this is such a good idea! i enjoyed reading what is on other people's wish list when i get some money i'll be defo buying someone a book. here is my wish list http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1X9PNZPUX4HIW
